Identification is verified by Richard Willan, Nudi Pixel expert
Comment from Richard Willan: This dendronotid nudibranch is characterised by the low pustules on its back and short gill tufts. It is coloured to match the gorgonians on which it feeds – either cream, or orange, or brown. It is considered to have a wide distribution in the eastern Atlantic Ocean – from the North Atlantic Ocean to South Africa.
